10 Startups Set To Change The Twin Buggy Industry For The Better

Buying a Twin Buggy

If you're looking to take twins or two children who are similar in age, this selection of double prams and buggies makes it easy to get your children from A to B. Tandem models are perfect for siblings with similar ages and single-seaters provide more maneuverability on public transportation and in tighter space.

Comfort

If you're planning on taking twins on a trip you'll need a twin buggy that provides plenty of comfort. You can pick a seat that has adjustable calfrests to ensure your baby is comfy, as well as a sun canopy that extends and a huge storage basket. Many manufacturers also provide a range of extras to ensure you have everything for your family outings, including cups holders and rain covers.

The size of your buggy is an important aspect to consider. There are tandem double stroller that are slimmer that fit through doors that are standard but you'll need to take measurements and consult the manufacturer before purchasing. Also, keep in mind that if your twins are different ages and have different needs, you'll need to adjust the seating arrangement regularly.

The multi-award-winning Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side twin buggy that provides an incredible range of options, which is ideal for siblings of varying ages or twins. With 17 configurations to choose from, it can be used with a car seat or compatible infant carrier as a travel system. The clever frame expands widthways instead of height, which makes it one of the slimmest side-by-side options on the market, taking up only 73cm of space when used in double mode, which is about the same as a single pram when not in use.

The model also comes with two seats that are world-facing from birth, which can be modified to accommodate a parent-facing carrycot or cosido to let parents monitor both of their newborns at all times. The seats can be adjusted to allow you to find the perfect position for your child. The UPF50+ large canopy with a magnetic peekaboo window and adjustable calf supports provides protection from the elements.

The Graco Voyager is a budget-friendly twin-buggy inline that is ideal for toddlers and children from to three years old. The seats can be reclined in a variety of positions, and the front wheel suspension makes it a smooth ride on most types of terrain. Our Lab experts loved the folding method: simply pull up a strap on each seat to fold it in just a few seconds.

Safety

The best twin buggies have suspensions that can withstand grass, gravel paths, and kerbs. Some even have two front wheels for extra stability when navigating rough terrain or bumpy roads. Look for features such as an auto-stop brake that stops the buggy if you pull off the handlebar, so that you can catch the vehicle before it goes away. Check the weight limit of a double buggy if want to take your kids for a walk or run. You should also test the recline of the seat to ensure that your children are comfortable on long runs or walks.

There are several types of twin buggies available - side-by-side, tandem and one-seat. Side-by-side models are ideal for siblings who are close in age as they offer a space for both to sit together to interact and talk during strolls. This type of twin buggy may be smaller than other models that makes them more convenient to maneuver and pass through doors. They may be heavier, have a larger footprint and feel less stable when bumping into kerbs.

Tandem buggy models tend to be double travel systems, with the possibility of attaching two carrycots or car seats simultaneously. Certain models can be expanded to hold two babies in the same car seat in rear-facing mode. They can be narrower and longer than twin buggies which are side-by-side, but they may also be smaller and longer than single buggies.

The one-seat models are generally smaller and take up less space on the pavement than other double buggy models. This makes them a good option for twins or siblings of different ages who prefer to sit alongside each other and avoid waking one another up by pulling their hair or fighting. Some models are designed to be independent in their reclined seat and your kids can snooze comfortably without kicking each one.

Convenience

If your children want to take their favourite dolls or teddies on an excursion with them, they can do it easily by using a twin buggy. Many models have seats where two children can sit side-by-side to play together, and some even have a carry basket that folds down to store everything.

There are twin buggies available in various costs, but it's worth paying an extra amount to get one that is simple to operate and will grow with your family. For example, the Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice, and can purchase online for around 200 dollars. Its back seat goes flat for a newborn and is more upright for a toddler which makes it suitable from birth. The design is user-friendly, with just one hand to fold and a simple unfold. It rolls well and the suspension makes light work of kerbs.

The iCandy Peach 7 is another extremely versatile option, offering 30 seating options, including twins, a child and the toddler or three kids with the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack board (which you can purchase separately for PS120). The compact chassis measures 72cm in double-mode and can be accessed through the majority of doors. It can also be wheeled inside your home, without taking up too much space. It has large canopies that provide excellent protection from the sun and rain. In addition, it comes with hidden hoods to ensure the safety of your children at all times.

There are also twin pushchairs that are designed with comfort at the forefront, like the Gazelle S Luxury that lets you save time by folding it with both seats firmly attached. This allows you to wheel straight out the front door, which is helpful for parents of newborns. The lower seat will need to be removed but it only takes a few seconds. The whole thing can then be folded in a neat and upright manner. Its slim frame makes it lighter and less bulky than other double buggies.

Design

There are a myriad of designs to choose from, whether you're shopping for twins or close-in-age siblings. Some single prams can transform into twin buggies with an easy conversion, while others are designed as twin buggies from the beginning. Whatever model you pick, it's important to find one that fits your family's lifestyle and requirements.

Most twin buggies come in tandem or side-byside configurations which let children sit next to one other or behind. Side-by-side models are slimmer and easier to maneuver, and can be used for children of all age groups. Tandems are wider and may not fit into smaller car boots, but they offer the advantage of children being able to interact with each other.

Many brands of twin buggies come with numerous features that parents will love. Find adjustable safety harnesses with five points, multiple recline options for seats and a big canopy that can be widened by a peek-aboo hood. Some models come with an adult tray with changing mats that can be removed and under-seat storage baskets.

Choosing the right wheel type and size is an additional important aspect to consider for your twin buggy. Double buggy wheels with all-terrain capabilities enable you to navigate mud, gravel and uneven surfaces. For greater control you can choose a buggy with suspension systems to smooth out bumps in the road.

Consider a model that has large cargo bags if you plan to use your twin buggy for long walks. You can take more than your two children and keep track of all their items. Consider adding sun visors, rain cover and shopping trays to your bag.
